I have an aluminum project that I’d like some assistance on with the TIG welder. Basically I’m trying to weld some extensions on some aluminum bicycle handlebars to make them wider. I should have the extensions turned on Monday so hopefully everything will be ready to go on Tuesday but I wanted to ask if there is anything specific I should bring to help ensure success.
I took the TIG class earlier last year from Jeremiah but I haven’t done anything with the welder since. I plan on turning a couple of dummy parts to practice on.
I can help with TIG… But aluminum is not my forte… I’ve done a small bit in the past, but not the most successful at it. Definitely have to spend some time preheating your parts before welding aluminum and also it wouldn’t be a bad idea to practise with some scrap aluminum first.
